Overview

Use the OcNOS MPLS document to design, configure, and operate MPLS-based services across carrier-grade networks. This document explains how to implement Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN), Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN), and Ethernet VPN (EVPN) services over any of LDP, RSVP-TE, BGP-LU, Segment Routing (SR-MPLS) transport. It emphasizes performance, resiliency, and operational clarity. The content is structured to help users build scalable, multitenant, and timing-aware service provider networks using disaggregated hardware running OcNOS.

Target Users

This document is intended for network architects, deployment engineers, and operations teams deploying MPLS-based services using OcNOS. It assumes working knowledge of IP routing, VRFs, and MPLS fundamentals.

Key Capabilities

This document explains MPLS service deployment and operation on OcNOS platforms through the following key areas:

Deploy L3VPN services using VRF-based isolation.
Deploy L2VPN services using traditional point-to-point (VPWS) and Virtual Ethernet LAN (VPLS) models.
Configure EVPN-based E-LINE and VPLS Layer 2 services.
Set up MPLS transport using LDP or Segment Routing (SR-MPLS), with support for RSVP-TE and BGP-LU.
Enable and monitor MPLS resiliency with ECMP or multipath and protection.
Build multihomed edge networks using EVPN multihoming and MLAG.
Monitor, validate, and troubleshoot MPLS label paths and service state.
